Error "Can't generate code for this expression"
#29553 - Fri Sep 07 2007 08:40 PM

Hi,

I'm porting an HID USB mouse example to HI-Tech 8051 ver 9.01 and am getting the error above. I've reduced the code to fit in this post (shows error at 'EP_STATUS[0] = EP_IDLE;' line).

Please use Code tags to maintain formatting and improve code readability. I have added them here. (mod)
Code:

#define  EP_IDLE                 0x00  // This signifies Endpoint Idle State
#define  EP_HALT                 0x03  // Endpoint Halt State (return stalls)

unsigned char EP_STATUS[3] = {EP_IDLE, EP_HALT, EP_HALT};

void Usb_Reset (void);

void main (void) 
{

   Usb_Reset ();

   while (1)                           // Spin forever
   {
   }                        
}

void Usb_Reset (void)
{
   EP_STATUS[0] = EP_IDLE;             // Set default Endpoint Status
   EP_STATUS[1] = EP_HALT;
   EP_STATUS[2] = EP_HALT;
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brent

It appears to a problem with the small memory model. I think help will have to come directly from support@htsoft.com.

In the small model, static duration objects are supposed to be 'near' by default, I think. Explicitly qualifying EP_STATUS as 'near' fixes the error.

Code:

near unsigned char EP_STATUS[3] = {EP_IDLE, EP_HALT, EP_HALT};
